This paradox doesn’t mean that we stop fastening our seat belts, buy ancient cars that don’t come with ABS, or take up jaywalking. Instead, pretend the crosswalk isn’t marked, and walk accordingly. Assume the secondary O-ring or the ABS brakes won’t prevent the accident. Keep your head out of the tackle, even if you’re wearing a helmet. Act as if you didn’t receive an extension on that project deadline. The safety net may be there to catch you if you fall, but you’re better off pretending it doesn’t exist.
